French Toast Breakfast Tips

- drain them on paper towels to absorb the grease
- keep it warm to keep crispy on a serving dish in the oven until completed cooking all the French toast
- for best results add the flour and milk to a blender and pulse until smooth to get a nice combined mixture, adding the eggs last
- you can add cream cheese or jam instead of butter and cinnamon and make another version of filled French Toast Sticks!
- don't worry if you made too much, freeze them cooked on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and then add them to freezer bags. Pop them in the toaster when ready to serve they last around 3 months in the freezer
